Biography
Timothy Michael Dolan was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1950, and he had a lifelong interest in becoming a Catholic priest, pretending to celebrate Mass as a child. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1976, and he became an associate pastor in Richmond Heights, Missouri. From 1994 to 2001, Dolan served as rector of the Pontifical North American College in Rome, and he also taught at the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Angelicum. In 2002, he was named Archbishop of Milwaukee, and 8,000 kids were sexually abused by over 100 priests in the Milwaukee diocese. In 2009, he became Archbishop of New York, and he was appointed a Cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012 due to their shared conservative values. Dolan was a critic of abortion, same-sex marriage, contraception, and the International Human Rights Art Festival (due to its gay and transgender content), and he delivered the first benediction at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration in 2017.
